The Bandit and the Noble: Ishimondo Fantasy AU

💎 Chapter 1: The Crazy Diamonds 💎

MONDO POV:

Name's Mondo Owada, and I'm the leader of a group of thieves and bandits. We call ourselves The Crazy Diamonds. My older brother Daiya used to run the guild, until he got killed by a guard in a city we stole from. There's also Leon, he is a archer. He has very good aim, and is very useful for our guild. Chihiro is a mage in training, he's kind of a nerd, but we still keep him around. Anyways, today we're planning on raiding a village that is home to the most expensive and finest silk in the world. 

"Owada!" Exclaimed  Chihiro. "Yes?" I said turning around to face the smaller figure. "I used an ice spell and it worked!" Chihiro replied cheerfully. And with that he pointed to a frozen puddle next to the city's sewer drain. We currently were taking a resting point in the city of Merryland. "Wow! I am very impressed Fujisaki!" I chuckled, as I was very proud of him for using magic correctly. "It's probably the only thing I can do that's related to magic..." He said weakly. "Hey..." I said, "don't be so sad, this is a major accomplishment for your path on becoming a mage!" Chihiro looked at me, "I guess so..." he said with some dismay in his voice. 

All of a sudden, I saw Leon bolt right past the alleyway me and Chihiro were hiding in. "Owada, what's going on-" Chihiro's words were then cut of by the loud voice of 3 guards. Damnit! Leon must've been recognized by some guards when he went out. "W-what should we do!? Leon's gonna get captured by the guards!" Chihiro exclaimed, he obviously was panicking, "And then he'll get put in prison, no, maybe even killed like Daiya was!" That made me panic, I didn't want to have another member of our guild get killed. "Let's go!" I yelled to Chihiro, "We gotta make sure they don't hurt Leon!" And with that, me and Chihiro ran as fast as we could to catch up to Leon and the 3 guards. Chihiro's green scarf blew behind him due to how fast we were running. 

When we finally caught up with the guards, I saw Leon at a dead end of city streets. The only way to get out was up. Leon pulled out his crossbow and arrows, ready to fight. I saw Chihiro nod and  open up a bottle of acid. (Don't ask why the bottle isn't melted it's fiction) I new the signal and took the knife on my utility belt, and had it in my hands. "We've got you now theif!" Yelled the blonde-haired guard. "Put down the crossbow or we'll shoot!" Said the tallest guard, and with that all three of them pulled out their bayonets.

Leon refused and yelled, "NOW GUYS!" Chihiro poured the acid on the blonde-haired guard, I stabbed the tallest guard with my knife, and Leon shot the third guard with his arrows. The guards were dead. Leon rushed over to me and Chihiro, clearly relived we came to save him. 

"I think it's time we leave." I said. We couldn't risk being hunted down by the king's guards. "Yeah we should..." Leon replied as he put his crossbow back into his brown bag. "Well, at least I got these-" He said. I saw him pull out a pouch of silver coins from his brown bag. "You risked our lives just for some silver coins?!" I said very angrily. "Well, it's not my fault I was caught by the shopkeeper and she called the guards!" Leon replied, "And besides, we can use these to buy food or stay in an inn!" I looked at him and sighed, "I guess you're right. But we stay at an inn at another city, okay?" Leon smiled, he obviously was happy we weren't going to sleep on the streets or in a dirty alleyway for the night. "Hey guys, we should start going right?" Chihiro asked. "Of course." I said getting back on track. 

And with that... Me, Chihiro, and Leon were on our way to find an exit to leave the city of Merryland...
